Yes....overwhlemingly so.

They were predominately Christian. I doubt anyone back then called it Judeo-Christianity but that's fine with me if saying that today makes us appear more encompassing.

Actually.... not so.

They were prodominantly NOT Christian. In fact, much of what they believed came from a objective look at religion and what it had done to the world.

What were they you ask? Deists. http://www.deism.org/

Judeo-Christian is fine with me also since Christianity are the branches that were grafted in with the first Word of the Lord.

Given the case in front of the Supreme Court right now (Pledge of Allegiance) this question has enormous implications. I happen to agree with you, btw.

They were Christian, but in contrast to European Christianity, the Founders were highly Philo-Semetic (Jewish Loving).

George Washington visited the Touro Synagouge in Rhode Island and sent letters to all American Hebrew Congregations as a sign of harmony. Alexander Hamilton attended Jewish schools. Ben Franklin contributed to Congregation Mikveh Israel in Philadelphia. And as for John Adams, he wrote:

"[Jews] are the most glorious nation that ever inhabited this Earth. The Romans and their Empire were but a Bauble in comparison of the Jews. They have given religion to three quarters of the Globe and have influenced the affairs of Mankind more, and more happily, than any other Nation ancient or modern."

Even American institutions such as Thanksgiving (Sukkoth) were adapted from Jewish rituals and festivals.

It's funny, when I was growing up, "Judeo-Christian" was the politically correct way to refer to our heritage. Now it's taboo among the Muslim-loving left, and passionately supported by the virtuously Philo-Semetic Right.

The term 'Judeo-Christian' became popular after WWII(in light of the holocaust).As far as i know,only the US calls itself 'Judeo-Christian' as opposed to just 'Christian'.Traditionalist Catholics,Jehovas Witnesses and far right churches reject the term...as do some hardline Jews.
